Domains: Used for mapping unknown IPs/netblocks. Use the results of the Map to add discovered IPs to Host Assets.

Host Assets: IPs in your account which count against your subscription's licenced IP count (current IP account available under Help > Account Info > VM Summary (or PC Summary), any IPs within Host Assets can be scanned. IPs can be added directly to Host Assets without Mapping first, however depending on the account type (limited to a certain number of IPs) you may not want to randomly add large blocks of IPs which may or may not be active as they will count against your IP count.

Asset Groups: Groups of Host Assets (IPs must already exisit in Host Assets to be added to a Asset Group).

To determine what IPs are in your account and can be Scanned, you will need to review Host Assets. If you are attempting to Map an IP or range of IPs, you will need to configure a Domain containing the IPs you would like to map.

If this does not answer your question, please contact me directly or contact Technical Support so we can review your account details and provide a more targeted answer.

So as per the explanation u say that whenever i want to add a new ip or an asset i can directly go to the host assets and add it, without particulaly mapping it first and adding it to the subscriptions.

I'm still trying to learn Qualys, so please forgive me. I've run a few map scans and when I view the map results, the right-most "N" column is empty. Where do I add IP addresses to the "netblock"? It seems like there should be one place to add ranges, instead of there being nooks and crannies to place them in.

If I want to add a range (assuming I have the licenses to support this), what are all of the places I need to plug in that range to be able to map (discovery) scan, vulnerability scan, and report on assets within that range? What is the proper order for doing these steps? The things I know of are Approve Hosts, Add to Subscription, and Add to Asset Groups.
